Dr. Allan H. Ropper, the legendary Harvard neurologist who guided me through the first years of my Parkinson’s diagnosis, recommends that I meet with Dr. Nicholas Theodore, director of the Neurosurgical Spine Center at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. Allan’s son, Alexander E. Ropper, himself a neurosurgeon, worked as Dr. Theodore’s fellow at his previous post at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.
